At the base of Camelback Mountain, tucked away in a perfect little nook, surrounded by cactus and desert landscape is the sweetest spot to get married with a wide open view of mountain scenery. Just stepping into the lobby at Mountain Shadows and your breath is taken away by the view out their massive front windows. I can see why anyone would want to get married here, and I know it was a main pull when Brielle and Stephen chose Mountain Shadows as their wedding venue. They, however, did one better, and to the desertscape, they added the most gorgeous floral circle arch by Lux Florist that just completed the ceremony space with elegance! The design on this day by Sarrah from Imoni Events was flawless as was the execution as Stephen and Brielle moved through their wedding day with ease. From the girls getting ready that morning, to Stephen’s sweet reaction of Brielle as he turned around to see her in her wedding dress, each part was so fun to witness and capture. They each wrote each other notes and then sealed them away with a bottle of wine to open on their anniversary, I wish I had done that at my wedding! What I wouldn’t give to have a note from my hubby intended for me just for me before we were even married. (Brides take note!)
I have to say though, my absolute favorite part of their day had to be their reception on the rooftop outdoors! Their guests were escorted upstairs after cocktail hour on the lawn, and they were met with a gorgeous set up of florals and cake, lounge furniture and of course individual macaroons from Piece of Cake at each place setting! What could possibly be better than sitting down to dinner only to find dessert already waiting for you?! I say nothing! After their grand entrance, Brielle and Stephen swayed back and forth together as the sun started to dip in the west. We snuck them away for a few sunset photos before the after-dark party began! Lights on and music up, this crowd knew how to party! The magic continued into the night as the dancing ramped up a few hours in, donuts were brought out to satisfy all those late night cravings! This couple thought of it all and their day could not have gone better!
It was such a joy and an honor to be there to capture the beginning of your forever together! Thank you, Brielle and Stephen, for letting us be there on your perfect day!

“I would definitely recommend getting wedding planner if you can so the planning is less stressful and the wedding day flows nicely. I also recommend doing a first look so that you have more time with your family and friends after the ceremony. Most of all stay calm and enjoy every minute of the wedding planning and the big day because it goes by so fast.”-Brielle 
“I would say if I could re-live 1 hour of the day it would start with the first look. The anticipation that built up to see her in her dress and makeup/hair done was a moment I had been waiting for my whole life. 
“The bridal party means the world to me. On my groomsmen side, two were friends I grew up with in my hometown while two I met in college and grew extremely close too. Her brother was the other one and it shows how important family is in your life journey. All of my groomsmen have played an instrumental part of my life and really all are my “best friends” and there for me when I need them. On the bridesmaid side, Brielle had her two best friends that mean the world to her. She is so close to them and they always are there for her. My sister was also a bridesmaid and she has played a significant role model in my life. Overall, we are both blessed with some amazing friends and are fortunate to have them all in our lives.”-Stephen 
“Our venue was at Mountain Shadows in Paradise Valley Arizona. We chose this venue because of its beautiful view of Camelback Mountain and how they had the perfect outdoor space for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The colors of our wedding were blush, ivory, and green. The detail we loved the most about our wedding was our unique circle arch at the ceremony that was just absolutely stunning with Camelback Mountain in the background. “-Brielle 
“The moment that sticks out in my mind from the ceremony is my wife walking down theaislee. She was so beautiful and it was the moment i had been waiting for my whole life. Also, our vows. Writing our own vows made it more intimate, thoughtful, and personal. I will remember them forever.”-Stephen
“Everything! Her dress was stunning and her hair was fabulous. She is so beautiful and it was amazing seeing her in her dress!”-Stephen

“My favorite part of the wedding day was being alone with my husband for the first time at our sweetheart table and seeing all of our family and friends enjoying themselves at the reception. “-Brielle
“I would love to look back at our vows and everyone’s speeches because they all had some humor that made us laugh. I would also like to look back at the dances we had because those were very special for us. “-Brielle
